Chapter 265 263. Governor Ren turns stone into gold
“This cement road is so easy to walk on!”
"It is said that this was also brought by the governor. I once saw the people who were paving the road pouring water and mixing it, then spreading it on the ground to dry and soon it turned into hard stone!"
"Turn earth into stone! This must be Governor Ren's magic!"
Some businessmen and scholars who came to Qingcheng Town from other places were discussing the cement road along the way.
Traveling all over the world, they have never seen such a smooth and wide road!
Even when it rained along the way, it only wetted the ground, and my shoes didn't even get mud on them.
They are used to walking on muddy roads, so in their eyes, such a smooth road is simply a miracle!
"If one day the whole world is paved with such roads, wouldn't we no longer have the pain of rushing? Walking up and down such roads is simply a kind of enjoyment!"
The businessman stepped on the ground, looked at the carts of goods behind him, and said longingly in his heart.
"You may not know that in addition to these roads, there is also a railway in Qingcheng Town! I saw in the Wuzhou Monthly News that the railway is made of fine steel!"
When entering the city, there was a long queue and everyone had to have their body temperature checked, so people took advantage of the opportunity to chat and chat.
"Oh my God! Precious steel is used to build roads? Impossible!"
A businessman said incredulously.
"How is it impossible? What the newspaper said can be false?"
The scholar glanced at him and said: "We went on a study trip and came to Qingcheng Town specially because we heard that a grand ceremony will be held in Qingcheng Town tomorrow to celebrate the opening of the railway!
It just so happens that you will be able to visit the railway in Qingcheng tomorrow.
Maybe you will be able to travel on the railway for business and freight transportation in the future."
Someone questioned: "How did I hear that the railway is not used to carry people, but is specially used to carry something called a 'train'?"
"What kind of car is a train? A car on fire? Wouldn't the fire burn the carriage?"
Some people are also confused.
"Hurry up, hurry up, won't we find out tomorrow? What's the point of thinking about it here?"
People in line urged the team to move forward.
"Hey, hey, the person who just came from Ximen said that the Governor has also come to Qingcheng Town and may attend the opening ceremony of the railway tomorrow!!"
Just as the team was walking, big news suddenly came.
This lifted the spirits of countless people. After hearing this, people who had not planned to attend the ceremony changed their minds at this time.
Even if I leave a day late and make less money, I still have to pay homage to the beautiful face of Governor Ren who has descended from the gods. It's hard to believe that I will be favored by the gods and have good luck!
"Master, the pomegranate tree in the yard has borne fruit!"
When they arrived at Ren Mansion, the maids brought in some gifts and took the bedding they brought with them to put on.
Xiaowan was surprised to see the pomegranate tree in the yard.
At this time, each of the huge pomegranates had split open, revealing the ruby-like pomegranate seeds inside, which looked extremely beautiful!
"This pomegranate is so sweet."
Xiaowan raised her chin slightly and proudly said to Ruan Tang.
"Why don't you pick one and give it to me to try?"
Ruan Tang said to Xiaowan with a smile.
Whenever she smiles, her eyes are curved like crescent moons, and her long eyelashes flicker, making her look extraordinarily gentle, and even Xiaowan can't resist it.
Xiaowan picked three pomegranates, one for each person. She sat under the eaves with the pomegranates in her hands and watched the maids cleaning.
Qingcheng Ren Mansion still has a concierge and a few maids, so the house doesn't look dirty as soon as you enter.
After dinner, Ren Pingsheng, Ruan Tang and Xiaowan went shopping together.
The streets are generally familiar, but many shops have changed their signboards.
When we walked to Ningxiangzhai, the place was still bustling with people coming and going. However, Ren Pingsheng had stopped providing soaps from the earth to Ningxiangzhai. The soaps here were all made by Qixing Daily, but the quality was not the same.
Not much worse than what he brought from the earth.
By about seven o'clock, the sky was gradually getting dark.
The street lamps on the roadside suddenly turned on, illuminating the street with bright lights. People in Qingcheng Town were already used to it, but many people from outside the city shouted in surprise, and the locals secretly laughed at them for not seeing them.
The way it goes through the market.
The emergence of street lights has greatly enriched the nightlife of Qingcheng people.
Ren Pingsheng even saw a lot of archery and trapping stalls on the roadside, which surprised him, and he suddenly thought he had entered an ancient city on earth.
"girl!"
At this time, a fat aunt suddenly had bright eyes and stopped Ruan Tang, who was looking at a string of hand beads at a roadside stall.
"Aunt Zhao, what a coincidence."
Ruan Tang looked at Aunt Zhao, the helper he hired when he was in Qingcheng, and said in surprise.
"Isn't this what the girl taught me about roping and archery? I didn't expect it to become very popular. Now there are many such places to play in the city!"
Aunt Zhao was not at all upset that her stall had been taken over by others, but was happy because Qingcheng Town was becoming more and more lively.
In her stall, there are some colored glazes with various images of small animals, which are given as prizes to those who score high in archery.
"Did you do all this?"
Ruan Tang walked to Aunt Zhao's stall, looked at some glass ornaments placed on it, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have been favored by the girl, and I have learned these skills from you, girl. I should be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life."
When Aunt Zhao looked at Ruan Tang, there was gratitude and love in her eyes, but also a little bit of debt.
"Aunt Zhao, my friends and I are going shopping again. I wish you good fortune."
After Ruan Tang chatted with her for a few words, he hurriedly caught up with Ren Pingsheng and Xiaowan who had already walked ahead.
Looking at their backs, Aunt Zhao suddenly felt that the man just now looked so familiar!
Suddenly, a figure who had once been riding on horseback, which she had caught a glimpse of, appeared in her mind.
She slapped her thigh suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"What?"
The stall owner selling hand beads next to her looked at her ever-changing facial expressions and couldn't help but ask.
"I remembered!"
"What did you remember?"
"I won't tell you!"
"As if who wants to know!"
The hand-bead stall owner looked away.
Aunt Zhao couldn't hide the joy on her face.
"I knew that the governor must like her because the girl is so beautiful. He sent people to pay attention to her to protect her!"
"It's great. The girl and the governor are together, what a perfect match!"
"The governor is a fairy, and indeed only a fairy like the girl can be worthy of him."
She sincerely wished the girl happiness in her heart.
The guilt buried deep in her heart finally reconciled with herself at this moment, and the smile on her face became lighter.
